Russell Wilson has only missed one snap from an injury, so at this point I'm feeling pretty okay that he's been able to stay healthy.

He's amazing at that. But I also believe he's benefited a lot from straight up random luck. And I think teams are gradually figuring out how to get to him more. From pro-football-reference:

pre:
Career
Year 	Sk 	Yds 	
2012*	33	203	
2013*	44	272	
2014	42	242	
2015*	45	265	
2016	41	293	
2017*	43	322	
Career	248	1597
Actual number of sacks has been very consistent since 2013, but yards lost has been climbing since 2015, which suggests he's getting caught trying to scramble for larger losses more often.

it was really dire when he had both ankles sprained though. for betting purposes it might not be great if he's gonna power through something like that

I'd argue that increase is more due to having no credible run game since Lynch left.

Except last April was the wettest April on record. Most of the global warming science I have read suggests the PNW will actually escape relatively unscathed for the next 30-40 years, other than an increase in extreme weather events.

I'm hecking excited to see what happens with the OL this year.

LT: Duane Brown (Great but getting old)
LG: Pocic (2nd year in the league, 22, has upside)
C: Britt (average-above average, almost 27)
RG: DJ Fluker (bad?, 27, has upside)
RT: Ifedi (bad?, 23, has upside)

If going from Cable -> Solari adds basically any value whatsoever, the OL will go from "terrible" to "below average". Which is a huge freaking upgrade for that team, and I'll take it.

I'd like to see Ifedi moved to RG. I think he's better at guard. Fant will be back and is probably better suited to play RT and an upgrade over Ifedi.

But yeah, a "below average" oline will do wonders for the offense compared to the lolfucknotthisagain that they've had.

Yeah, it's just my anecdotal experience but I have lived here for 30+ years and I feel like I've been saying "huh, we didn't get a real extended heavy rain or snow event" for most of the past 10, when back in the day it seemed like there would at least be one of both every year.

Magnusson was fantastic last year, so that doesn't surprise me. Garnett...apparently he's a "BSoHL" guy this year, but his biggest problem was scheme fit and it's hard to dramatically improve your balance. Little worried there, but I honestly think Magnusson could be a starter if he's needed.

I remember listening to the Brock Huard and Jim Moore show on local radio soon after Mora got the UCLA job and they were talking to Mike Ditka. As they were saying goodbye Ditka said "Jim, good luck at UCLA" and Moore just went with it and said "Go Bruins"

Honestly, if the accusation that he threw her dog across the room changes your opinion of the case's severity at all, there's something wrong.

Three things:
He's been accused of hitting her about the head 8-10 times, with such force that her eardrum burst.
The dog had no injuries at all.
She recanted all of this.

If we're to take her at her word, then we have to believe both her accusations and the recantation (especially if it's backed up by video explaining where the injuries came from). The really troublesome part to me, because it's incontrovertible evidence, is the loaded assault rifle with a round chambered lying on the floor of the bathroom. Red flags all the gently caress over the place on that.

LOL, look at this fuckin' guy. We'll be lucky to get back to the playoffs my dude. We made some good moves, but I don't think getting rid of Richard was one of them, and the coaching staff that we brought in doesn't look great. People seem happy with the draft, but if our O-line hasn't made huge improvements in the off season (LOL) it's still going to be Wilson running for his life every loving play. I mean, go Hawks, but let's be realistic.

I do not like this trend of reasonable Seahawks fans; it makes it harder to hate you.

Please become irrationally supportive and exuberantly optimistic while painting "12" on every surface that will bear dayglow green like a numerological raver. Thank you.
